A new AD to do the hiring. I think you'd have to look at what Stoops has done at Kentucky but I'm really not sure there is anyone available that I think gives you 10 wins a year and competes for the west with Alabama. That's what I'd expect from a program like Auburn.
The west is almost as weak as the East now with the exception of Alabama and Auburn should be able to make it a two horse race with the right coach. Who that is I'm not sure.
Until Saban starts to slip or decides to retire I don't think anyone will replace Alabama as the top program in the SEC but Auburn should be on their heels if they get a solid coach and recruiter.

if that is Pj Fleck reference, I doubt he would leave Minnesota 8 months after getting the job, also bet he has a huge buyout. He would be my #1 pick at BAMA when the day comes.

But I thought Dabo was "coming home"? I don't see any reason Dabo would ever leave Clemson. He's got it dialed in there and I don't see the run of being a premier program ending anytime soon. I guess "if" he ever did leave, Bama would be on his short list if available or sought him out. Just don't see it though. Im just not a huge pj fleck fan, I think being a rah-rah coach can only last so long before it starts to wear off. Hard to imagine him keeping that up as he gets older, and who knows he may not have to if he's good enough X's and O's

Any coach with an ego. Auburn has played for two titles with Saban in the same state. You aint getting that at Minnesota...... Who's gonna come to the sec west knowing that that'll have to compete with Saban?

Dabo has told friends privately that he hates Tuscaloosa s a city. Too many stray bullets and ballers named sweet T. And how many has Saban played in? How many players has Saban put in the pros compared to the college down the road? And yes Dabo will come to BAMA.

Seriously, he likes where he is for all the right reasons, but I would put Ken Nackanackalolo, (no way I know to spell it, sorry), at Navy on my list to be considered. Great guy and does a phenomenal job with what he has.

Saturday evening I had dinner in Nashville and two women beside me were from Nebraska. This is the exact conversation:
"Where are y'all from?"
"Omaha. And the Huskers lost today. They're not looking good. Could be a long season."
(Me) Yes, I heard they lost. Riley's having a tough time. They got rid of a really good coach ...
"He probably dropped a few too many F-bombs. But he won games."
(Me) Well, basically saying publicly that "if the AD wants to fire me to go ahead" probably didn't sit too well with the AD.
"They needed to fire the AD."
I had to bite my tongue from laughing because that was coming from about a 50ish-year-old. She was NOT happy about her beloved Huskers. The 20-something brunette with her was just nodding in agreement.
Bo Pelini would be a good hire for AU, but similar to Gruden he'd probably tell some boosters or trustees to kiss his butt and not worry about any consequences.
Gruden Pelini Stoops - can't hurt to call Sean Payton - couldn't hurt to call
They'll probably hire some FCS hotshot who goes 8-32 before they fire him, though.

Nobody mentioned Dan Mullen? He's done a pretty good job at MSU with what he's had to work with. IMO he's the 2nd best coach in the SEC.

Silly auburn fans. Y'all know this hire will be screwed up too. A few years ago all you guys were delusional and expected to hire a big name. Auburn hired Chizik who had a 5-19 record at Iowa State. To give a little credit he did win auburns only natty in my lifetime. Here's the funny part. He was fired for losing. Auburn hired a guy with a 5-19 record and fired him for losing.
This will be a fun season on Aldeer.

Gruden aint happening Dabo-not a chance Richt- yea right Sean Payton-nope Stoops aint happening unless his first name is Mark. Gundy ain't happening James Franklin no chance Mullen may interview, but only to get a raise at his current job. Les Miles would take the job in a heart beat, but the Fambly would be to proud to hire him. I'll save ya'll the time before you even mention Jimbo Fisher again-NOPE Even guys like Gary Patterson wouldn't be interested. Chris Petersen wouldn't take a glance at the Auburn job.
They better start looking for that young hot shot because I doubt they get an established HC if they can Gus. I would just be patient and give Gus a few years, they are real close.

Well hypothetically... If we can't get a big name FBS coach, and I was doing the hiring search, id look at John Grass at JSU or the guy at James Madison. Not saying they'd be a great choice but they have produced results at the FCS level.
And just because I'm a Huntingdon Alumni, I'd say Coach Turk will get the boys ready.
Seriously, if Gus gets gone, what about the D coordinator? Seems he has the defense looking good, not sure how well he could do at HC but seems like a logical choice.

If Auburn starts looking for a new coach, they would be best off to completely clear the slate of possibly hiring anyone already within the Fambly. Secondly, they should clear house of all the Old Fambly that's just hangin around( that should probably be the first move)

Seriously, if Gus gets gone, what about the D coordinator? Seems he has the defense looking good, not sure how well he could do at HC but seems like a logical choice.
Steele may be the only guy Auburn could hire that would make hiring 5-19 Chizik seem like a great choice. Steele's previous head coaching experience is 4 years at Baylor. He went 9-36 (1-31 in conference play).

Well hypothetically... If we can't get a big name FBS coach, and I was doing the hiring search, id look at John Grass at JSU or the guy at James Madison. Not saying they'd be a great choice but they have produced results at the FCS level.
And just because I'm a Huntingdon Alumni, I'd say Coach Turk will get the boys ready.

If Auburn starts looking for a new coach, they would be best off to completely clear the slate of possibly hiring anyone already within the Fambly. Secondly, they should clear house of all the Old Fambly that's just hangin around( that should probably be the first move) I reckon I'd have to agree. I haven't liked our coaching choices since they fired Tubberville.

Pj fleck is a weird dude. I wouldn't want him as my teams hc. That being said he would be a great fit down on the plains. Row your on freakin boat!! Art briles would complement the softball program nicely. Seriously I don't know who is out there that would be better than gus.

I didn't realize the Navy coach was a Mormon, but since he apparently does a good job of keeping that from being an issue, that wouldn't bother me.
To be clear, I'm not for firing coaches in the middle of the season, so I'm all for seeing how the season plays out, but I do agree that certain things were expected to change offensively and it doesn't look like they have, so....come what may, later.
Third page and I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Tubby is available. When he had a fire in his belly, he was a pretty good coach. The question is, can he ever get the fire back?
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I saw someone interviewing him the other day, he seemed overly bitter and petty when getting asked about Alabama's success. I doubt he ever amounts to much going forward.

Pj flecks wife is a smoke show. I think she was a boosters wife, and his first wife left him over it (It's been a while, so not sure details, but remember it being something like that)

Nobody mentioned Dan Mullen? He's done a pretty good job at MSU with what he's had to work with. IMO he's the 2nd best coach in the SEC.

Here's the thing... auburn will go 9-3 or 8-4. Only teams left that can beat that defense are MSU, Jawja, and Bammer. I'm not saying they all will, but they can. Can auburn fire Gus after a 9-3 or 8-4 season?

Can auburn fire Gus after a 9-3 or 8-4 season? If he loses to both Jawja and bammer again the outcry will be too hard to ignore. 9-3 having beat at least one of the two and he'll survive on the hope that he will learn where he has being going wrong.

I think LSU is the only school that has a more stupid AD than Jacobs. Orgeron has a $12 million buyout on his contract. I don't think Kelly will ever be a coach at auburn as long as Dye is drawing a breath. I think Joe Alleva is fairly well respected in his profession

Silly auburn fans. Y'all know this hire will be screwed up too. A few years ago all you guys were delusional and expected to hire a big name. Auburn hired Chizik who had a 5-19 record at Iowa State. To give a little credit he did win auburns only natty in my lifetime. Here's the funny part. He was fired for losing. Auburn hired a guy with a 5-19 record and fired him for losing.
This will be a fun season on Aldeer. I agree. AU will only be able to hire an unproven coach who may or may not be the next Dabo Sweeney. No way AU attracts a proven winner. Except maybe Les Miles, but that probably wouldn't happen. Given all the negative press that AU has dealt with lately, firing Gus is not in their best interests right now.

With enough money and complete control promised they got who they wanted. If Auburn got rid of their problems and opened up the check book they could attract a good coach. The problem I see is that there isn't a big name available. Regardless of what Timbercruiser says every time Auburn is searching for a coach of any kind, money has never been an issue.

Period? Which one is out for auburn to be in? There can only be 10. (no order) Florida State Georgia Michigan Ohio State Alabama Texas USC LSU Florida I don't even know that they are in next 5. Clemson Notre Dame Texas A&M Oregon Oklahoma Auburn would be in the next 5.

Nobody has mentioned Clay Helton. USC HC. QB developer. Makes around $4 mil. Played at Auburn. HAS WINNING RECORD AS A HC. Football family. (son of Kim Helton) Has ties all over the country for recruiting. Even HS ties at Stephensville, Tx. Worth a look.

(son of Kim Helton) Has ties all over the country for recruiting. Even HS ties at Stephensville, Tx. Worth a look. (USC is a better job than Auburn. Its amazing that has to be said out loud) He's a southern boy from Gainesville Florida. Plus he attended AU and Houston. Probably would take the job to get back on the right side of the country.

Is amazing that someone (jb) thinks that. Wearing a flack jacket to practice? Cost of living. Southern boy in that town. Pat Haden. Lives in the minds of "has beens." Btw, I did say "worth a look." And don't know condition of facilities now, but they were bad at one time. Jb, you aren't in touch with football, are you? (Don't even believe I'm saying that out loud)

No doubt USC has more tradition and a better recruiting base but $4mil in Cali won't go nearly as far as it will in the South. He'll have an easier time off it at USC and there are a lot of coaches that wouldn't want the challenge of going head to head with Saban every year, I'm sure. Auburn is top 15 all time in wins and has overpaid every football coach they've had since Dye so I'm sure they'd throw the checkbook at a really good coach if they wanted to take on that challenge. Auburn wants to win I just don't think their administration knows the formula to do it at a high level , consistently.

Auburn is a better job than UGA, ND,and Oregon. When has UGA done anything even in a pathetically weak east? ND has recruiting issues (standards), and Oregon (give me a break). It was better than Clemson pre Dabo, and I would argue better than A&M from a history perspective. That being said, A&M has unlimited resources and is the better job now. Don't believe me? Malzhan has recruited inside the top 10 for the last 5 years. And this is WITH SABAN in the same state knocking out number classes. A capable coach could come here and win BIGLY! Yep. Just wishful thinking bama fans wanting AU to aim low.
Auburn is a top 10 job. Period.
Period? Which one is out for auburn to be in? There can only be 10. (no order) Florida State Georgia- Michigan- Ohio State Alabama Texas USC LSU Florida I don't even know that they are in next 5. Clemson Notre Dame Texas A&M Oregon Oklahoma Auburn would be in the next 5.

But, he is the one who gave the job to Helton, so I'm not sure Helton sees Pat Haden as the "problem" that many did/do...and I was one of those people. That said, the biggest thing I see missing from your list is "opportunity to succeed"...which is much greater at USC than it is at Auburn RIGHT NOW.

And I'm not talking historical perspective, i'm talking right now quality of the job. Georgia's recruiting base and sole ownership of the state alone is invaluable (IMO again), same as LSU Notre Dame I'll agree isn't what it once was

I think the PAC-12 is 2-0 vs SEC west teams. I dont see the SEC as harder to succeed outside of having to play bama. Is amazing that someone (jb) thinks that. Wearing a flack jacket to practice?

Yep. LOTS of rumors about Jacobs being canned very soon. I think it would be after the season before anything is done to Gus, if then. I think Jacobs time is getting shorter tho.

The sunshine pumpers are hard at it today. Auburn is a top job, Cowart didn't like football, and Sean White was a problem child. The delusion is strong today. Something about rats and a sinking ship come to mind.
We listened to y'all for years telling us how the only reason Chizik won a natty was because of Gus Barfield. Now y'all are saying his offense sucks?
Quick question... so far in this thread I've read where auburn is a top 10 job or higher and that the pockets are deep and auburn wouldn't mind paying for a top coach. So explain why auburn has been able to land top coaches like Terry Bowden, Tuberville, Gene Chizik, and Gus Barfield? Did any of those have winning records in division 1 football when auburn hired them? Other than the offensive genius are any of those top coaches still coaching?

Auburn fans think they're a Ohio State, USC, ALABAMA type of program, when in reality their a Kentucky, Tennessee, Ole Miss type program, Tommy Tuberville has been the best coach they have ever had up there Reminds me of this little nugget that was posted on these pages several years ago.

Perk and Fran were in unenviable positions given who they followed.
Also, I miss Gene Stallings. He was a good man, a good organizer-motivator, solid coach, great cusser when necessary, and fun to talk with. He wasn't an asshole like a lot of coaches can be.

Did any of those have winning records in division 1 football when auburn hired them? Other than the offensive genius are any of those top coaches still coaching? Settling. Gus, at Tulsa and Arky State. I think. Maybe. Middling records at best. Bowden, at Akron. So, not really. Auburn does this with basketball, too. Tommy Joe Eagles, Cliff Ellis, Lebo, that asshole who worked with Calipari, and now Pearl. I like Pearl. I think he's enthusiastic and is trying to do well. But if the "Auburn men's basketball is being investigated for ..." story comes out then I won't be shocked one iota.

Fran followed DuBose. He could have succeeded imo, if he hadn't bailed. Hell I could have followed DuBose and looked like a good coach.

I got Fran and DuBose backward. But yeah, I agree. You'd have a statue - Coach Brent, Winnah - following DuBose.

Not sure why this is even a topic. Gus is awesome. Y'all have a 30+ point win, a 14 point win, and lost on the road to the champs by 8 points. What were y'all expecting? How does a fan base of a team that has never had back to back 10 win seasons get so damn delusional? Gus and Jacobs need lifetime contracts. Roll Tide. God Bless Nick Saban. You can spell auburn sucks big ones without GUS.

Auburn fans think they're a Ohio State, USC, ALABAMA type of program, when in reality their a Kentucky, Tennessee, Ole Miss type program, Tommy Tuberville has been the best coach they have ever had up there Auburn is #13 all time in wins. I think Alabama is around 9th. You could compare Tennessee and Auburn with some credibility. Comparing them to Kentucky and Ole Miss is not rational. I can't stand Dye but he has got to be ahead of Tubberville. No Auburn fan wants to admit it but Alabama and LSU (sans Saban years) being down made it possible for Tommy to do as well as he did. He was a good coach and an average recruiter. That didn't work out too well when Alabama and LSU got back to full strength.

This is gonna be a really fun season. Think so?? The Sports Forum has been the calmest I have seen. Alabama fans have crowed so much that winning no longer brings out much enthusiasm. Auburn fans, even the hard core, knows the future appears grim for the next few years at least. That's giving a new coach 2 years to get his people and system up and running. And that is probably a best case scenario. Both fan bases are quiter, for different reasons, than before.

Especially when Vandy beats bama this weekend..... This is gonna be a really fun season. We kinda need that to keep some auburn fans in the football forum. The last 3 years have been boring with only you, rebelman, and 257 here by the first of October. 257 only stays to bash Gus. The rest of the vaginas disappear and say they have better things to do with their lives than worry about what 18-22 year olds do on Saturday.

Auburn fans think they're a Ohio State, USC, ALABAMA type of program, when in reality their a Kentucky, Tennessee, Ole Miss type program, Tommy Tuberville has been the best coach they have ever had up there Auburn is #13 all time in wins. I think Alabama is around 9th. You could compare Tennessee and Auburn with some credibility. Comparing them to Kentucky and Ole Miss is not rational. I can't stand Dye but he has got to be ahead of Tubberville. No Auburn fan wants to admit it but Alabama and LSU (sans Saban years) being down made it possible for Tommy to do as well as he did. He was a good coach and an average recruiter. That didn't work out too well when Alabama and LSU got back to full strength. Per wiki, 7 and 19 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_football_teams_by_wins If you export that table into Excel and sort all the rows by "Winning Percentage" rather than "Total Wins" then: Alabama is number 4 on the list behind Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State. Auburn is number 30 on the "Winning Percentage" list below other SEC teams such as: Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia, and Florida. So they are 6th in the SEC.

I think I have learned one thing from the majority of this thread.
When your rival team loves your coach, it's time to get rid of him. Records, Bowl games, etc. don't matter.
"Hate is an acid that does more damage to the vessel in which it is stored, than the victim on which it is poured."
"Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity."

The pirate could well be a good fit for the SEC.
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

Mike Leach is very much like Petrino, all offense and no defense. Petrino wore folks out when he was at Arky but when he ran in to teams with a defense he got shut down. Leach can't even crack into the PAC12 CG.

Auburn is not an elite program. Because you catch lightening in a bottle and win 1 National Title doesn't amount to much.
I'd shoot for Muschamp or just keep Gus. 8 wins should be good enough. I don't know why y'all think you should play for a National Title every year or even the SEC for that matter.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

You've got to admit, it is kind of fun seeing Vandy all fired up. Hope springs eternal. And then...., you get hit in the mouth

They have never had back to back 10 win seasons. The cannot maintain consistency. Might wanna check the 1988 and 1989 seasons on that. They have done it once.
There are two rules for success: 1. Never tell everything you know.

Is it true Auburn has never had back to back 10 win seasons? No it's NOT. 87-88. Close twice 82-86 and 2004-2008 Close. Guys come on, admit we were wrong. They've had back to back 10 win seasons once. So, they obviously sustained success for two years 30 years ago.

Because everybody besides rebelman knows it's still not fixed. True dat. Here's my expectations while Gus is coach. Say they do win 10 this year (I doubt it)..... I'd still have no confidence that they'd win 10 next year.

If they win 10 this year, it will be because Stidham proven to be as good as advertised with a young receiving corps, and a stout, young defense. If that group wins 10 this year, what would make anyone think they couldn't do it next year too with most of that returning?

That may or may not be the case next year.
